Chapter 120: It’s Too Late to Mend the Fence After the Sheep Have Been Lost (25)

"Brother, why did you ask about the birthday party just now? What did Minghuan say at that time?" Seeing that the relationship between the father and son became more and more tense, Mo Sinian asked anxiously.

He was very ashamed now, but if he didn't speak, Shao Kunyao would be even less likely to speak, and the relationship between the family would only become more and more twisted.

Mo Hexuan's eyebrows were cold, he had no intention of hiding, and even with a bit of anger, he repeated the conversation between him and Shen Minghuan at that time.

When his voice fell, the room was silent, and there was no life.

The speaker and the listener seemed to be frozen, unable to move, and could only passively endure the pain of thousands of arrows piercing their hearts.

"It's my fault."

After a long time, Mo Hongxue rubbed his eyebrows and smiled bitterly: "He should hate me."

For so many years, before meeting Shen Minghuan, he had guilt, pain, and suffering.

Yaoyao blamed him, Hexuan blamed him, he tossed himself to be alone, but he never regretted it.

When he made this decision, he had anticipated this scene. He was willing to pay these prices, with blood on his hands, sins all over his body, and loneliness for the rest of his life, to fulfill a brotherhood.

But he regrets it now.

It's not because he can't afford it, but because that person is Shen Minghuan.

"He doesn't hate you." Mo Hexuan said coldly: "He doesn't hate anyone."

"He said these words to me to persuade me to truly treat Si Nian as my brother. He doesn't want anyone to be trapped in the nightmare of sixteen years ago."

Mo Hexuan smiled sarcastically: "Using hatred and revenge to summarize his behavior is to look down on and insult him."

Mo Hongxue was silent, he sighed, and agreed: "You are right."

"Mo Hongxue." After sixteen years, Shao Kunyao finally called Mo Hongxue's name.

Mo Hongxue shuddered and responded subconsciously: "Here."

Shao Kunyao still had tears in her eyes, "Can you save him? Save him..."

Although she is the richest woman, the political situation is clear now. Money failed to save her child sixteen years ago, and it still cannot be saved sixteen years later.

Mo Hongxue's face showed entanglement and pain. He hesitated for a moment, and finally could only honestly give an ambiguous answer.

"I will try my best." He whispered.

It is not difficult to save his life, but it is difficult to return the glory and praise to Shen Minghuan and get everything back on track.

Shao Kunyao knows him, and Mo Hongxue's "try your best" is more useful than any guarantee, so she breathed a sigh of relief, but tears flowed again.

"He doesn't want to go home, right? He doesn't want to recognize us, right?"

"Yaoyao." Mo Hongxue tentatively embraced her in his arms, and he held her tightly, "We still have time, and we will make it up to him in the future."

Although Mo Hongxue comforted Shao Kunyao, he was not so optimistic.

His child did not grow up surrounded by love, but he was not a person who lacked love.

The young man's heart could hold the world, and he drew courage and wisdom from all things in the world. He seemed soft-hearted and gentle, but he was also the most resolute and decisive.

Shen Minghuan...

Mo Hongxue sighed again in his heart.

Ming and Huan both have good meanings. If it is given the surname Mo, it is indeed out of place.

*

The police took Shen Minghuan from the lounge to another room.

There were already two people waiting in the room. They looked about the same age as Xie Xu, with slightly white temples and a few wrinkles at the corners of their eyes.

There was always a smile on his face, amiable, and the majesty and domineering of a leader.

Although he knew that someone must have checked it, the police officer still carefully checked the soundproofing and defense system again, and then closed the door and left.

He looked around carefully, and seeing that there was no one around, he stamped his feet excitedly and furtively.

These two people were the figures who appeared in the alliance's current affairs news. The excitement of seeing them even overshadowed the anger and irritability when he saw Shen Minghuan.

Inside the house.

The leader smiled gently and easy-going. She stretched out her hand, "I am Xiang Wanyu, classmate Shen, hello."

"I am Shen Minghuan, Speaker Xiang, hello." Shen Minghuan pretended to be serious and imitated Xiang Wanyu's sentence pattern to introduce himself. The two people in the room were amused and laughed immediately.

Just looking at this atmosphere, it is hard to believe how heavy the topic they are about to talk about is.

The political system of the alliance is not complicated. Let's not talk about the local politics of each planet and galaxy. The central government's decisions involving the entire alliance are made by hundreds of members.

And the head of the members is called the Speaker.

Laughing aside, business still needs to be discussed. Xiang Wanyu is busy with work every day. If this matter is not serious, and she feels guilty, she will not come in person.

"Student Shen, you should have known it, right?"

This child is really smart. Although she did not intend to hide it, she organized her words for a long time along the way, but she knew that it would not be used when they met.

Shen Minghuan seemed to know everything, whether it was her life experience or the grievances she was about to endure.

Shen Minghuan nodded and said with a smile, "If nothing unexpected happens, you should know it."

"Well," he paused and asked sincerely: "Does the blood relationship identification procedure have to be followed? Can I admit it directly?"

He thought it was troublesome, so he could do something else with this time.

Xiang Wanyu was slightly startled, and quickly reacted.

"Good child," she said.

If it is a fraud, it is likely to be discovered. Once someone finds out, this matter will become the sin of the alliance.

But if Shen Minghuan refuses to cooperate and directly admits his identity, then it is at best due to improper alliance procedures.

Moreover, one less procedure means one less risk that the truth may be revealed.

Bloodline identification was hope for Shen Minghuan, but he gave up this hope.

This man is indeed dedicated to the alliance, selfless and upright, even at the expense of himself.

Xiang Wanyu has spent half his life in the officialdom, and this is the first time he has seen such a sincere, pure and kind person.

"Ming Huan," she sighed, her eyes became more friendly, and she sincerely regarded the person in front of her as a beloved junior, "The alliance will take care of all your daily needs. When the war is over..."

She said no more, knowing that these comforting words were really pale.

If we lose this battle, it will be over.

But if they win, the alliance will be busy rebuilding and trying to stabilize people's hearts. Shen Minghuan made mistakes in his identity twice. The first time could be said to be due to poor supervision, and Mo Hongxue has to bear the main responsibility.

So what’s the second time?

The Tangtang Alliance could use this method to frame a young man. How could he know that there had been no unjust, false or wrongful convictions in the past? How do you know that you won’t push yourself further in the future?

Can the alliance guarantee it, but can the public believe it?

The alliance is an alliance for everyone, and the degree of their trust in the alliance is the vitality of the alliance.

Maybe we have to wait until many years later, when the alliance is strong again, before we have the courage to admit the mistakes we made in history.

As one of the few insiders and the decision-maker who finally decided on this method, she will also bear this responsibility and make it a less glorious event in the history books.

But at that time, Shen Minghuan and Xiang Wanyu were probably no longer in the world.

Xiang Wanyu knew these things, and Shen Minghuan also knew them.

"You don't need to take it to heart." Shen Minghuan didn't take it seriously. "I can understand it during special times, not to mention I don't care about it."

He smiled and said: "Speaker, let's work hard together to make the alliance better. In this case, I am enough."

"...Okay." Xiang Wanyu took a long time to respond. Although her voice was small, her tone was firm, just like the way she stood under the flag and swore an oath when she was elected as the Speaker.

The alliance must become the Alliance of Justice. Only then can it be worthy of the countless heroes who have gone on to fight for it, and only then can it be worthy of the sincere young man.

"Is there anything you want?" Xiang Wanyu asked.

She didn't ask what the other party wanted because it wasn't a transaction.

She asked for a wish.

Shen Minghuan nodded solemnly: "Yes, there is only one request - I want to go to the front line."

After the swearing-in ceremony, the newly recruited soldiers had already set off. Only Shen Minghuan stayed temporarily, and the alliance had not yet decided how to arrange him.

Xiang Wanyu didn't expect Shen Minghuan to say that. As the speaker, she was not short of money. She originally thought that she would try her best to meet Shen Minghuan's needs, but she didn't expect that what he wanted was to serve the country.

Shen Minghuan blinked, "Is it difficult?"

Xiang Wanyu smiled bitterly and said calmly: "It's a bit."

Now in the eyes of everyone, Shen Minghuan is the second best person in the Tang Dynasty.

Famous at a young age, SS level, extraordinary skills, military genius...

Now, Shen Minghuan is still the son of Tang Dynasty Yan, which is like a reincarnation of fate.

"Frankly speaking, I hope you stay on the Emperor Star." Xiang Wanyu said: "The alliance's current view of the SS class is relatively pessimistic, and we do not dare to take this risk."

This has nothing to do with whose child Shen Minghuan is. Even if he is Mo Hongxue's son, the alliance will probably not agree.

If he stays in the Emperor Star, they will try to save his life. After that, with her as the speaker of the meeting, Xie Xu, the richest man, the Shao family, and the Mo family, he can go sideways without considering public opinion.

Shen Minghuan smiled mysteriously and said confidently: "I have a way."

StarNet.

[Have you seen the alliance announcement? Shen Minghuan is indeed the son of Tang Chao Yan, and he is going to the front line now. 】

【ha? Am I crazy or is the alliance crazy? My wife is also on the front line. I am not afraid of her dying in the battle. I am afraid that she will be killed by Shen Minghuan. The league better give me a reason and don't make me curse. 】

[You haven’t read the announcement upstairs yet? Go watch it first, and you will praise the alliance when you come back. Although this idea is not very humane, but Shen Minghuan, I just want to say that he deserves it! 】

[Father's debt must be paid by son. His father killed tens of millions of people. The death penalty was cheap for Shen Minghuan's bloody crimes. 】

[I just want to know, what was Shen Minghuan thinking when he admitted in the video that he was Tang Chaoyan's son? Did he ever spurn Tang Chaoyan's behavior at some point? Would he be ashamed that his father was such trash? 】

[I see that he is very calm. Maybe he is still proud that his father is so capable and almost caused the alliance to fall by himself. 】

[Does he still have the nerve to refuse a blood test? Laughing to death, you really don’t have the consciousness of being a prisoner. Do you think you are the proud son of the First Army? He deserves it too! 】

[If it were anyone else, I might question the fairness of the judiciary, but Shen Minghuan really doesn't deserve sympathy at all. 】

[Maybe he still wants to fight to the death, but it’s a pity. The video clearly shows that Lan Xing’s friend spoke up and beat him to death. Did he think that he would be fine without an appraisal? 】

[He was allowed to live for sixteen more years in vain. Then he went on the battlefield against the Zerg. I didn’t know who to cheer for. 】

[I came back after reading the announcement, hahahahaha, it has to be an alliance, what a great idea. Just be more cruel and stipulate how many Zerg he must kill every day, and only give him nutrient solution when the number is reached. 】

[This is good, it’s a bit like ancient slavery. I’m going to look through the information and make suggestions to the alliance. As the saying goes, we should learn from history. There are still things we can learn from the systems that have been eliminated in history. 】

[Then he'd better live a little longer. 】

As we all know, Alliance mechas do not have self-destruct procedures.

Once the mecha starts to self-destruct, let alone what happens to the Zerg, the driver will definitely be dead. Dying for the country is a heroic act. If you can't even wrap your body in horse leather, how can you give some comfort to your relatives at the rear?

What's more, when it comes to matters of life and death, in order to prevent the driver from being impulsive or making a mistake in a crisis, sufficient time must be left to regret.

Although the Zerg are not intelligent, they have a strong instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. They often flee as soon as they foresee danger.

As long as they keep a distance, the self-destruction of the mecha will not cause much harm to them due to the defensive power of its body.

These are the second reasons why the alliance firmly ordered that mechas are not allowed to add self-destruction programs. The most important thing is safety.

As long as it explodes, it is unstable.

Let the driver run around with a huge bomb, even if the current technological level has developed very well, they are not at ease.

This approach somewhat undermines the value of "people", so even if the war is in chaos, even if the situation is at stake, the bottom line that should be maintained cannot be retreated, and the persistence that should be defended cannot be lost.

"But the son of Yan of the Tang Dynasty can always be an exception."

Shen Ming said with a smile, "They hate Tang Chaoyan so much, and they also hate me so much. I am the only one who doesn't care about safety, morality, and virtue. And I am no longer a citizen of the alliance, so I am not protected by the law."

He actually looked very proud, unaware of what an insulting and unequal treaty this was.

Xie Xu's face almost turned purple, and his chest heaved violently. "Install a self-destruct program on the mecha, and its activation will be controlled by the alliance; modify the opening method of the operating hatch so that it can only be opened from the outside..."

He clenched his fists, his facial features were twisted into a ball, and he cursed loudly and angrily: "Xiang Wanyu, I'm going to fight you to the death!"

In addition to prohibiting mental combat in the Star Network, this life was not guaranteed.

Xiang Wanyu looked indifferent and said coldly: "Why don't you take care of your student first? I have already deleted a lot. He was even more cruel to me at the beginning."

Mo Hongxue coughed lowly.

The mental body connected through behavior is too thin, and the state will be affected by the real body. Mo Hongxue had just been injured on the battlefield and was forced to rest. Only then did he have time to participate in this Star Network meeting.

Everyone present at the meeting was an insider. They knew Shen Minghuan's identity and the whole process of changing the situation sixteen years ago.

The most important thing is that they all want to save Shen Minghuan.

Oh, except Shen Minghuan himself.

There were not many people. Compared with last time, there was one more speaker, Xiang Wanyu, and one less client, Mos Nian.

Mo Hexuan was originally on the list of participants, but the front line was anxious and Mo Hongxue was injured in public, so he had no choice but to stay behind to stabilize the morale of the army.

"Why do you seem so angry? This is the best way." Shen Minghuan was puzzled, as if he didn't know why it was these people who decided to give up on him, and it was these people who were reluctant to leave him in the end.

Everyone looked at Shen Minghuan's expression, opened their mouths in vain, and finally couldn't close them.

They can guess Shen Minghuan's reasons without thinking too much. They are nothing more than the overall situation being the most important thing, the safety of the alliance, the morality of the world, and making mistakes and stopping losses in time...

They couldn't even argue because they were using these same reasons to hurt this man.

Standing at the highest point of morality, it is natural to ask "which is more important?"

No different than the others, Shen Minghuan's expression was dull, almost indifferent at this moment.

He said seriously: "If I put my life in your hands, you will not disbelieve me."

Things related to people in the world are usually expensive, but Shen Minghuan's life is cheap enough to be used as a bargaining chip.

Mo Hongxue coughed rapidly again, and he didn't know why he seemed to be injured more seriously than in reality, even though it was just his mental body.

He asked hoarsely: "Are you willing to come to the Azure Dragon Legion?"

With him and Mo Hexuan here, at least it can ensure that Shen Minghuan will not suffer any injustice.

After all, in today's alliance, basically everyone has a relative or friend who was directly or indirectly killed by Tang Chaoyan, and this is especially true for soldiers.

Shen Minghuan shook his head, "I'm going to Xuanwu. I can see that Qinglong and Xuanwu are the main battlefields this time. Qinglong has Mo to command. In comparison, Xuanwu needs me more."

He has always been confident.

He should also be confident.

He once ended a military exercise that was supposed to last for a month in one day. His opponent was a group of the best students in the alliance;

He once convinced top military academies to recognize him as a commander, and to this day he is the first person who thinks of him when the title commander is mentioned;

He had never been defeated in the mecha battle area, and no one could let him reach the fourth move...

If what happened sixteen years ago had not happened, he should have been a carefree young master of the Mo family, relying on the favor of the people around him to act unscrupulously and domineeringly;

If the incident at the school history museum had not happened, he would have still been a much-anticipated junior in the First Army, pampered and protected by all the teachers and students in the school.

This should be Shen Minghuan's life, bright and bright, without a trace of haze.

But it happened that they, the group of people who claimed to be the closest to him, turned into a huge dark cloud in his clear and clear sky.

Shao Kunyao's eyes were sad, she whispered: "Why don't you think about yourself?"

He only thought about the alliance and the overall situation, but he was only seventeen years old. Why should he give himself such a big responsibility at such a young age?

"Ah?"

Shen Minghuan scratched his head, "Sometimes it's not that I don't want to think about myself, but it's just unfortunate that things slowly developed like this, so I can only continue to move forward. But I didn't suffer any grievances..."

He didn't lie. Although he was still temporarily living in the police station these days, he had the care of the Speaker and he had no shortage of food, clothing and daily necessities.

Nominally a prisoner, he actually enjoyed VIP treatment, and even his optical brain was not taken away.

"As for those remarks, I won't listen to them."

He said slowly: "Anyway, it's just a lifetime."

It seemed that something collapsed in the minds of the four listeners, scattering into ashes, and finally only a sigh was left.

Xie Xu's fingers twitched, and his voice trembled, "Shen Minghuan, if you are angry, just say it. I will admit it even if you hit me. Why do you have to stab us in the heart like this?"

Shen Minghuan blinked innocently and tentatively said, "I'm sorry?"

Others could naturally see that he didn't think what he said was inappropriate at all. He apologized only because he felt that Xie Xu was angry.

This person seemed to put himself in a very low position, and the ability to accommodate others seemed to be innate.

"Principal Xie Xu," Shao Kunyao felt very uncomfortable. She was reluctant to blame Shen Minghuan, so she had to point the finger at Xie Xu, "You spoke too loudly."

Xie Xu: "???" Can this also be a reason for accusation?

Xie Xu did not refute, and he accepted this false accusation. He turned his head and said unhappily: "Xiang Wanyu, what are you doing here? Just listening?"

Speaker Xiang calmly reached out her hand, habitually wanting to drink some water, and only realized that she was now a spiritual body and didn't need to eat or drink when she touched nothing.

Xiang Wanyu withdrew his hand without leaving a trace, "Are you sure you don't want to answer the call first? Your optical computer is very noisy."

Xie Xu: "..."

Nonsense! His optical computer is in vibration mode.

Forget it, even his voice is too loud, so it's understandable that the optical computer is noisy.

Xie Xu raised his hand in frustration and pressed the button to agree to connect fiercely. He didn't even see who the other party was. It was as if he had eaten ten pounds of gunpowder, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

The other party seemed to shrink, but a loud noise sounded, and the man didn't care about being afraid: "Principal, help, Shang Chi and Mo Sinian are fighting, no, Shang Chi unilaterally beat Mo Sinian."

Xie Xu frowned, knowing that Shang Chi probably guessed it.

After all, he knew that Shen Minghuan was actually Mo Hongxue's son, but he appeared on the exile starship. It was obvious that their identities had been swapped.

"Shang Chi, Brother Shang, ancestor, let's talk it out. Hiss, you really want to hit me, you're too cruel. Wait, wait, don't be impulsive, principal, Mo Sinian is going to be beaten to death by Shang Chi!"

Feeling the chaos on the other side, in the voice of Yan Ji's persuasion and call for help, Shang Chi's angry roar can be vaguely heard, and Mo Sinian's painful groan can be heard.

And the sound of fists hitting the flesh, the real deal.

Xie Xu did not open the soundproof cover, and the sound from the optical brain poured out without any obstruction, and everyone present could hear it clearly.

He sneered silently and looked at Mo Hongxue and Shao Kunyao sarcastically, "In your opinion, how should I deal with this matter?"

The two people's expressions changed several times, and finally fell silent.

"Of course, stop them, teacher." Shen Minghuan was indifferent when talking about his own fate, and then his face became more turbulent.

"Why is my brother still so impulsive?" Shen Minghuan said this, but his expression did not blame him at all, only obvious worry, and he did not realize that it was Mo Sinian, not Shang Chi, who was about to be beaten to death in the communication.

Yan Ji was still shouting: "Lu Zhiyi, where are you going? Lu Zhiyi! Principal, Lu Zhiyi also rushed up, and he is being beaten with Mo Sinian now."

"Hey, are you two stupid? Can't you even dodge without fighting back? Damn, don't just stand there, I beg you, run away first, okay? Principal, Principal, they are crazy, they are looking for death, Principal!"

Xie Xu was thoughtful, it seemed that Lu Zhiyi had guessed it, he was loyal and willing to take the blame for Mo Sinian.

He was smart, but unfortunately, knowing too much was sometimes not a good thing.

Before the principal finished sighing, a flash of light flashed, and Shen Minghuan had already left the meeting, without even saying hello before leaving.

Everyone was slightly stunned.

Shen Minghuan has always been a very sensible and polite child. Even Xiang Wanyu, who has little contact with him, can feel this. She never thought that Shen Minghuan would be impolite.

In fact, you don’t need to think too much to know why.

Xie Xu and Xiang Wanyu sighed at the deep brotherly love between the brothers, while Mo Hongxue and Shao Kunyao felt even more bitter.

They realized so clearly that this person really didn’t treat them as family at all.
